Duties to your Fellowing Class

Read drafts of two papers; write marginal comments and a one-page response letter for each. Hold individual consultations with each student on each paper, lasting 20–30 minutes each. Teach writing strategies that will not only improve this paper but also the student’s future writing.

2. Keep all scheduled conference appointments punctually. If an emergency arises and you must miss a conference, contact your students as soon as possible to reschedule.

3. Meet with the professor of your assigned class at least twice: once before reading the first assignment and once before reading the second assignment. Have the professor clarify the expectations for the assignment so that you can guide the students appropriately. Be sure you understand the professor’s criteria for grading.

4. Serve as a resource to the professor as requested. You may be asked to review assignment descriptions, or to advise on grading rubrics. You may give one or more classroom presentations on writing principles.
